The course will equip staff with the skills and values needed to teach people with learning disabilities/autism, practical tasks within employment settings and areas of independent living.
The course covers the three central elements of TSI

- Teaching Strategies
- Organisational Framework
Participants will:
Be introduced to the principles of Systematic Instruction.
Have the opportunity to explore their own values as well as those underpinning TSI.
Learn how to break down a task to create a task analysis.
Be taught how to organise and plan their work so that their teaching is effective.
Be taught a range of practical teaching techniques and how to use them
Explore the nature of their role as a trainer, learning when and when not to intervene whilst ensuring the people they are supporting move towards independence.
Get the opportunity to practice skills learned, with paid consultant learners (people who have a learning disability /autism). This element of the course is instrumental in consolidating the participants learning of TSI skills.
